Not really sure where this belongs on the Forums. Feel free to move it to the correct location if this is incorrect.

It's time to replace the Wiper Blades on my GFs 2008 Civic Ex Coupe. We bought them at Costco. They are the GoodYear Assurance 22 and 26 Blades. The instruction that came with them have no words. I might just be an idiot, or these really are the worst instructions ever made. I have spent a few hours trying to figure it out. Has anyone else bought these and managed to figure them out? Can you please point me in the right direction of how to install them? Thank you in advance!

P.S. I want her car to be bad *** even if she doesn't care (Secretly I think she does), What are the best Wiper Blades, in your opinion that we should get from now on?

Good luck figuring out how to hang universal aftermarket wipers on there, bub.
Let me know how much time you wasted once you figure it out.
How much did you pay for them, anyway?

The correct rubber inserts are cheap, pretty easy, and work correctly on the first try.
$5.65 each, MSRP.
Available at any Honda dealer.

Of course after I bought them is when I found out that Honda sells just the Rubber inserts which are much cheaper and much easier to replace. That is beside the point though. It's the principle of the matter, haha.

They were about $7 a piece at Costco, so not too bad. So far I have wasted about 3 hours of my life trying to figure them out.

My time is worth anywhere from $2 to $10 per minute at work.
How much time do you think I would waste on this?

Most aftermarket universal blades can't possibly fit on that car anyway.

Swallow your ego.
Work smarter, not harder.

Get Honda inserts, return the blades.
Before you break something, if you haven't already.

The dealer would probably install them for free too. I know we do.

Thanks for the Advice. Ill just scrap these and buy the Inserts. Any Honda dealer will have them? Or should i order them online?

What do you think shipping would cost? You think it's worth it?

Yes, all dealers SHOULD have them (IMO).
Phone first. Duh.
See if they will install them for you. (Send HER to get them, males always want to be the hero. Wait..I did NOT just say that! Or did I?)

Here's the part numbers (USA car)
76622-SVA-A01 (700mm)
76632-SVA-A01 (625mm)
You can look it up here, and check your local dealers stock too (USA). Double check with a phone call!

I install the inserts without removing the blades, do it right on the car.
